Stella Monroe heard the words and felt a bit uncomfortable.
It wasn’t because she feared Master Jonah might actually predict sothing; she was a staunch atheist who didn’t believe in these so-called masters, thinking they were all frauds.
If it weren’t for putting on a show, she wouldn’t have invited this swindler.
It was just that she was telling a massive lie in front of Clarissa Stanton’s morial, which made her uneasy.
But Stella quickly composed herself.
All of this was to drive away Sumr Monroe, so she could smoothly take control of the Stanton Group and avenge Clarissa; Clarissa wouldn’t bla her.
...
Master Jonah’s two disciples swiftly set up the scene, and soon, the ritual began.
Master Jonah could be seen holding a bell, chanting in the middle of the formation.
The master spoke quickly. Sumr Monroe understood a few phrases. She had a broad reading range and had studied so Buddhism to calm her mind.
Master Jonah was reciting the Avatamsaka Sutra, ant to help departed souls cross over.
Sumr quietly waited for the ritual to end.
Helping that patient had taken a toll on her body, and tonight she needed to sleep early to attend school as usual tomorrow and research the man ntioned in her mother’s diary.
About half an hour later, as the bell in Master Jonah’s hand stopped ringing, the ritual ended.
Henry Stanton eagerly stepped forward and asked, "Master Jonah, can you predict the fate of the child in my wife’s womb?"
Master Jonah nodded and said, "Certainly. Madam, can you tell your birth date and roughly when you conceived this child?"
Stella nodded stiffly, providing her birthdate and the date of the "conception" to Master Jonah.
Master Jonah nodded, pulled a few Ancient Bronze Coins from his sleeve, and began calculating on the table.
Old Madam Stanton was also very concerned about the child in Stella’s womb, her grandchild, so she hurriedly joined them.
Soon, Master Jonah stopped, his expression sowhat strange.
Old Madam Stanton imdiately asked, "Master, how is it? Is the child in Stella’s womb a grandson? Will he achieve great things in the future?"
Master Jonah closed his eyes and shook his head.
Sumr had planned to leave quietly while no one was paying attention, but seeing Master Jonah’s reaction, she couldn’t help but pause.
The old lady, seeing Master Jonah shaking his head, asked with a grim look, "Does your shaking an the child is a girl?"
If it was another girl, there wasn’t much for her to be happy about.
However, to say she wasn’t happy at all wasn’t true either. After all, it was her granddaughter, and with proper upbringing, she might marry well and continue the Monroe family line.
However, Master Jonah shook his head again.
Stella beca tense imdiately.
Could this mystic really have predicted sothing?
Impossible! These people are all frauds; there’s no real predictive skill!
That’s all made up in mythical tales!
Henry Stanton also grew anxious and couldn’t help but urge, "Master, speak up, please!"
Master Jonah finally opened his eyes and slowly said, "I thought I made a mistake and recalculated in my mind, but the result is still the sa. Mr. Stanton, has your wife had a dical check-up to confirm the pregnancy?"
Stella’s face instantly turned deathly pale, and she tightly clutched the sides of her pants.
Sumr watched this scene, her lips curling into a slow smile.
It seems this master... might really have so skill after all.
